Venting The move towards authoritarianism.

[SilentSadness]

Is it just me or is every major country moving towards authoritarianism and totalitarianism? Every week you hear about yet another step made towards complete government control and power. In China, they are just completely denying massacres of their own people. In the UK, the government is moving to impose a China-style crackdown on the internet and install security cameras in every corner of every public space. In the US, people are being abducted for stating their opinion. And in third world countries, you can be tortured to death for having the wrong religion. So in general, the world is just getting so much worse every day, I think it won't be long before torture and humans rights violations become mainstream again, and when that happens there will be no way to pretend that this isn't hell.

Yes, I live in the UK and things are getting crazier by the day.
They recently introduced the online harm bill , meaning censorship is going to become orwellian. They have jailed a few people for telling the truth about the Southport stabbings too.
They are also working on the digital pound CBDC and want to eradicate cash. The digital currency will have an expiry date meaning you wont be allowed to have any savings.
If you piss the government off, they will freeze your account, and with no cash around youre fucked.
The digital euro CBDC is due to be rolled out around October too.
If you want a glimpse of your future then check out the Chinese social credit system.

Turkey's Erdogan jailed his opponent Imoglu. The EU is silent about it. EU is still stable, though with the tariffs imposed by trump, it remains to be seen if we can avoid a recession. In Ireland they're moving towards a US model when it comes to housing. If only they'd also adopt the group homes model so that I could be spared the abuse I'm subjected to daily. Alas, they don't give a f*ck.

Do you have any sources to validate this? Particularly the point about not being permitted to have savings.

Yes, the English people are being jailed for opposing woke trans in kindergartens, truly the end times. But our Russo-Israeli-Hindu-TRUMP anti-globalist alliance is gonna make things trad again, MIGA!

This may sound like a charade, but it's true.

Just remember, though we may not live to see the downfall, there has never been a successful fascist regime. They all get overthrown eventually.
